coming back to this in 2023 and remembering that BLheli passthrough didn't use to be a thing and we all just take that for granted now. lol. This hobby has really come a long ways!! Hats off to all the people who were smarter than me and contributed to the code on this stuff.
I actually just flashed my nephew's tinyhawk (1s version) to Blue Jay and he says that it flies SO much better and has more power than it ever had before. He's been flying the same quad for 2 years. On the same tune and firmware. So the change was welcomed. He also said now it more enjoyable to rip around and he can see himself progressing faster now that he has more control and POWA!!!!!!
ESC-configurator is easy to use and works! Love it. I already switched to BlueJay. I supported JESC for a long time but AIOs burning out, quads getting lost, eventually I came to that same conclusion. Why am I paying per ESC? Subscription perhaps but per ESC doesn’t make sense. Happy to support developers but give us options for supporting your work.
Literally Just flashed to a Emax Tinyhawk S and WOW. It has never flown this nicely. I have always had issues with blheli-s on starting the motors, (Yes I am using the plugs, Yes I know that the plugs are crap for the motor connections). It is really nice to have the startup sounds as well. Thanks for the great vid and keep up the excellent work.
Thank you joshua, I flashed blue jay onto my 5 inch and got rpm filtering set up because of your tutorials, and the difference is amazing. The horizon is perfectly locked, and there is baeraly any propwash
I licensed JESC for all my BL_HeliS escs because i wanted to support joelucid for this innovation. One someone does it it is easy for others to do the same. But someone has to start. He also brought F3 FCs back to life with betaflight F3 performance edition, which he hand-compiled with love up to BF41 including RPM filtering. The alternative would have been $30-$40 per quad to upgrade to F4 and BL_Heli32 - or to go without RPM filtering on old quads.
Para lo que van a hacer esta modificación de firmware a las ESC: La dirección de giro de los motores se debe configurar nuevamente Friendly reminder: After firmware change/update remember that the motor direction is settled to custom defaults. Re configure the motor direction again
Lol..great timing! I just flashed my new toothpick build with this last night and put the same Mario power-up theme on LOL Thanks for the content, quadfather!! 🙌
I just switched to Bluejay 16.0 running at PWM 96K from JMaverick running at 48K. Made my 4 year-old, 100mm, 2S whoop fly like a totally new machine - and I get a full _50 seconds_ more flight time! Definitely a must-have.
Hi. IF someone have problem with enabling bidirectional Dshot after Bluejay update . Try manualy add line set dshot_bidir = ON and set motor_poles = 12 (count your magnet in motor) after dont forget to taype SAVE command. BF lower than 4.3 beta got a bug so it wont save changes for bidirectional Dshot. Slider under bidirectional Dshot wil not show status activated but when you check that line it is enabled. Allso motors show zero errors Happy flying.
Be aware when using ESC configurator it runs on a chome app which can run into problems opening and closing serial ports and may run into issues flashing. Just be diligent and it should eventually flash them all.
I used Microsoft Edge which seemed to flash fine, but now motor 3 is stuttering on pwr up although it's fine in Beta motors tab. Could this be the issue you mentioned ?
THANK GOD ! I have no broken quads right now, everything is already flashed to BF 10.3 RC2, flashed to ELRS v2, I needed something else to do to them while its to cold to fly, this is perfect :)
Thank you this helped me so much for my stepson and my TP3 builds. Your are an amazing source of info and so much help! I would not have been able to do this without your videos! So I’m joining your Patreon! Your knowledge is invaluable!!!! Thank you thank you thank you!
Just a heads up ' You might have to re-assign motor directions in the Bluejay configurator if any motors were reversed before flashing . The configurator set all my rigs motors to normal direction by default when I switched over.
Nice point! Also happened to me but want to give a heads up If in betaflight you have the motors reversed, then you should leave the settings on the ESC as normal, because from what I saw on my quad, if you put reversed on the ESC configurator and reversed on Betaflight, the go back to normal, my guess is betaflight reverses it and then the ESC reverses it back to normal, so in most cases having it on normal after flashing should be ok if you configured the motors with betaflight Still always test on the bench with props off and see the direction to where they spin
been using bluejay on all my 45amp succex esc's paired with hglrc f722s, havent blown one yet, and i rip pretty hard in bandos. i do coat my esc and i truly believe that it helps as a layer of protection not just from water. thanks for all you do jb! i do use it on my micros too.
my intergalactic bando island video is with that quad, my apex still has jesc for a reallly long time, succex 45amp esc refuses to die i am thankful, but when it goes, it lived a damn epic life lol
Thank You! Thank You! Thank You! I have been using your Betaflight series for my first quad build. And it led me here. Oh! BTW, if I slow down your videos to 75%, your voice is hilarious! 🙂
Love Bluejay and the PWA flasher app. Haven't had an issue yet and the bootup tones are amazing! I have had problems with flashing JazzMaverick before.
As I save up for the quad I want, it runs BLHeli_S, and so I will probably be upgrading it to Bluejay. That is just so cool. I actually didn't know that S didn't support bidirectional Dshot until today.
What timing 😂😂 I started tuning my whoop for the next race and flashed this yesterday esc 1 and 4 did not go right and said incompatible. It still flew so I kept at it figured I would force it and I got working all 4 esc's flashed and working. And I gained almost 1:10 flight time!
Thanks easy peasy, 1whoop is playing "Rick Astley never gonna give you up" the other "Mario startup" awesome 😁. Flight have to wait for better weather unfortunately 👍
@@craigsosebee6335 Yeah, flashed bk to BL Heli and made do w the 2min flights thus far... Using the UAV whoop tune and would like 3-4 min flights like the 85 builds I've done in the past. This is a BETA BNF
Duude just watching you enjoy the new ESC ringtone hahaha gold! Pretty excited for flashing this to the firefly 2s tonight after work, I think I bricked my ESC last night trying to flash with the web browser BHELI configurator, man I've been troubleshooting this build for 30 hours now , ALL CAUSE I WANNA FLY 3D .... and I'm a noob
great video thanks ive installed bluejay on my new basher build and a custom zelda startup, like you the most important feature thanks again. Again thanks for all you do, it has helped me thru some extremely hard times in my life right now thank you very much
I going to toss this for discussion since im under the assumption its true. 48khz is more resilient to amperage spikes due to the higher frequency giving it a faster response rate against spikes. I have yet to burn an ESC running 48khz and having great success on my 3s 2.5 and 3 inchers on 1105s and 1204 and it does add more efficient on those motors. I haven't played with any 14mm stator motors to give my opinion on those. I went through quite an a few 16x16 ESCs before the upgrade when jazz maverick fist came out and haven't burned one yet. Infact I have the same stacks for almost a year with countless crashes. I haven't seen anyone discussing durability but that is my hypothesis and would love to see other people's opinions
I would not suggest changing the ESC firmware unless you can connect an Arduino to the tiny little pads on the ESC and flash it via the C2 interface if the update fails. ESC Configurator bricked 2 of my ESCs and I had to flash both of them several times using the C2 interface before they were detected again. That was a real pain in the ass.
Man I got to say I just got into the hobby and your vids are just the best... you are inspiring man... I got to say so far everything has been smooth sailing with my Mobula7... but this BLHeli_S on my Tyro79 is killing me... I flashed the firmware and now only 2 of my ESCs show on BLHeliS... this is my new quad (it came pre-assembled) and I had it all set up and running... until I upgraded to get the extra goodies of BLUEJAY. I have been looking online for a fix as to where I may have gone wrong... the only thing I found is some dude online said that the ESC type should be S-H-50 for my FC on the Tyro79... I am lost here...
I ran into a similar issues when I tried to flash JESC on my Blheli_S (J-H-50) I lost all the ESCs and it turned out that I just didn't have enough juice left in my lipo while flashing it. Make sure that you're supplying 12 volts to your setup while flashing the firmware or doing just about anything on your ESC configurator!
This just helped me fix Rocksteady 🙌🏾🙌🏾 Couldn’t get it to work because I lacked the ability to change PWM frequencies with BlHeliS. So happy I found this video. Thank you 🙏🏾
Thanks for the video. Helped me a lot. I flashed Blujay on my BLHeli_S ESC and now i not have any issue anymore... (spinning up motors in a disarmed mode)
Great news, I'm replacing a AIO FC that I've already flashed with JESC and although I'd like to support innovation, I really don't want to buy a new set of licenses for the same quad. BlueJay it is!
just don't use the 0.20 i fry my motor and esc, and they will remove it bcs a lot of people got this issue (like me who lost 4 motor and one stack) so go to the 0.19.2 to be safe
@@oleg146 It's true the memory is limited. BlueJay freed up memory by cleaning up the code and only use dshot150 and dshot300 options for the code. Longer music tunes could exceed the memory limit and will be chopped off.
@@o3rMeNs yep I got it but still don’t understand how jazzmac managed to implement ability to change pwm without reflashing each time, that’s pretty confusing.
The pwm frequency selection just needs a little more code change and wasn't currently a priority. As for tunes, there's more than enough space for even longer tunes but the ESCs won't start up until the tune is played, so left it at 60 notes iirc
PLEASE HELP. I have flushed the ESC but forgot to press “Disconnect” and closed the window. Now the esc-configurator is unable to find my ESC and the sound that was played when I plugged in the battery had disappeared + VTX is no longer flashing.
Blue Jay will over write all of you custom settings like motor direction so be careful! Your quad might taz like mine did due to the fact that mine was wired wrong from the factory and two motors had to have the direction reversed. When I flashed Bluejay it set it back to default and the quad did the crazy dance. Blue Jay should keep the settings when it reads them or at the very least let you know that all custom settings will be lost!
I flashed BlueJay on my ESCs and ESC 3 started to fail and it doesn't connect. After I unmounted the quad, the ESC 3 is working perfectly but the ESC 4 started to fail ... What the heck? I think the ESC are ok but there is some software problem somewhere ... Can anybody help me ? Help me Joshua !!! @Joshua Bardwell, ideas?
I flashed my 5" to BlueJay a few days ago. I just can't remember now if I checked to see if they spun up in BF or if the quad would arm. I thought I had done all that. Anyway, now the motors won't spin up in BF nor will they arm. They just click when I raise the throttle in BF. I get the standard ESC tones when it plugs in, however. . It bears mentioning that I flew this quad on Sunday 1/9/2022 prior to this change. It took a crash and a couple motors, the USB port and a portion of the FC got pretty caked with mud. But after spending time cleaning it, everything worked fine. I just wish I could remember if I tested everything after flashing it with Bluejay. Bi-directional D-Shot is enabled. They are older 2205/2600KV motors. The ESCs are older DYS XSD 30A external and there is no option for Min and Max startup. Unless that is just for whoop sized quads. The FC has a radio link to the TX because everything works in the Rx and Modes tabs in BF. Is my hardware too old for such a sophisticated change? Should I just go back to BLHeli_S?
Update: After several times of unplugging and plugging back in. I reflashed the ESCs to an older version (14) and now everything seems to be working. I checked the motors spinning using Bluejay and also using BF. I have no clue what caused the previous failure. I enabled the Mark Spatz BF presets for a 5" so I'm curious to see how it flies since I've done no tuning with it.
Hi Sir J.B., I' ve flashed today bluejay to my betafpv pavo 260 quas with esc on blheliM but i read on the Google bluejay app that tjis firmware isn' supported. Anyway the five motors have been flash ed from blheli M to last blujay 48 khz. Did i' ve done something wrong? Thanks for all you' ve learned to me every day! 😉

we lower the timing when the motor de-syncs. too low of a timing for a motor, will cause your motor to heat up. only touch if you have de-sync issues.
Once I can finally get back home to my fleet I will be doing the bluejay and BF4.3 and give it a go can't wait to get back in the air.
In jazzmac configurator you can change pwm frequency without reuploading firmware each time

But after spending time cleaning it, everything worked fine. I just wish I could remember if I tested everything after flashing it with Bluejay.
Bi-directional D-Shot is enabled. They are older 2205/2600KV motors.
The ESCs are older DYS XSD 30A external and there is no option for Min and Max startup. Unless that is just for whoop sized quads.
The FC has a radio link to the TX because everything works in the Rx and Modes tabs in BF.
Is my hardware too old for such a sophisticated change? Should I just go back to BLHeli_S?
Try raising the startup power?
Update:
After several times of unplugging and plugging back in. I reflashed the ESCs to an older version (14) and now everything seems to be working. I checked the motors spinning using Bluejay and also using BF. I have no clue what caused the previous failure.
I enabled the Mark Spatz BF presets for a 5" so I'm curious to see how it flies since I've done no tuning with it.
Hi Sir J.B.,
I' ve flashed today bluejay to my betafpv pavo 260 quas with esc on blheliM but i read on the Google bluejay app that tjis firmware isn' supported.
Anyway the five motors have been flash ed from blheli M to last blujay 48 khz.
Did i' ve done something wrong?
Thanks for all you' ve learned to me every day! 😉
I thought the Bluejay stand alone flasher is not maintained anymore. ??
that is what i read also.
Doing this right now. Awesome
Thanks Joshua
I put this on my babytooth months back. Trips me out every time I plug in due to the diff tones lol.
I don't see the melody on the page anymore...
